What are people's opinions on this guy?
I've heard that he does a combination of cold and warm reading, and that the audience is bugged so he can overhear audience members talking about their loved ones before the show. I've also heard that he uses paid actors, and creative editing to ensure that he looks like he is really talking to the dead. I think on South Park when Stan tells the audience that he's learned something today, he realizes why they need to believe in John Edward, but he feels that they need to recognize that what John Edward does is a magic trick, and that was is really going on in the world "is much more amazing than this douche." He says something about why would the dead be floating around up there just to talk to that asshole (Edward).
Anyway, he's some sites to help you decide for yourself
